How to Clean Dentures Properly: The Complete Daily Routine
⭐ Why Proper Denture Cleaning Matters
Dentures collect food, bacteria, yeast, plaque, and biofilm, just like natural teeth. If not cleaned properly, this can lead to:
-
Denture stomatitis (yeast infection)
-
Odor and bad taste
-
Irritation and sore spots
-
Poor denture fit
-
Gum inflammation
-
Long-term material damage
Using the wrong products — like toothpaste or harsh bleach tablets — can scratch dentures, weaken materials, and harm soft liners.
That’s why proper technique and the right products matter.
⭐ The Complete Daily Denture Care Routine
⭐ Morning Routine: Clean Your Mouth + Clean Your Denture
1. Brush Your Mouth (Yes — even if you have no teeth)
Use: Cleanadent Paste + Ergonomic Toothbrush
Clean:
-
Gums
-
Tongue
-
Cheeks
-
Roof of mouth
-
Implant abutments or housings (if applicable)
This removes bacteria, prevents infections, and keeps your breath fresh.
2. Brush Your Denture
Use: Cleanadent Paste
Why NOT toothpaste?
-
Regular toothpaste scratches acrylic
-
Scratches cause bacteria to stick and grow
-
Scratches weaken soft liners
Clean gently, rinse thoroughly, and allow the denture to dry.
3. Apply Adhesive (Optional but Recommended for Many Wearers)
Use: Adhesadent
Apply in small dots or strips.
Insert denture and hold for 10–20 seconds.
⭐ Daytime Routine: Quick Cleaning & Maintenance
After Meals
Use: Cleanadent Wipes
Remove:
-
Food debris
-
Odor-causing bacteria
-
Adhesive buildup
-
Plaque starting to form
This keeps your mouth cleaner throughout the day.
Stay Hydrated
Dry mouth increases irritation and reduces denture comfort.
Sip water frequently.
⭐Night Routine: Deep Clean + Overnight Soak
1. Remove Your Denture Gently
Rock it slowly; never pull aggressively.
2. Brush Your Mouth Again
Use Cleanadent Paste to clean the tissues.
3. Soak Denture Overnight
Use:
-
Liquid Crystal (preferred home cleanser)
-
Powder Crystal (ideal for travel or packets)
Why soaking matters:
-
Removes bacteria
-
Eliminates odor
-
Dissolves stains & buildup
-
Prevents infections
-
Extends denture lifespan
